Claus Schick

Claus Schick (born November 6, 1944 in Jugenheim in Rheinhessen ) is a German SPD politician and was district administrator of the Mainz-Bingen district from 1992 to 2017 .

Life

Claus Schick was born on November 6, 1944 as the second son of a winemaking family in Jugenheim. After training as a technical draftsman , he studied process engineering at the State Rhenish Engineering School in Bingen am Rhein (today Bingen University of Applied Sciences ). He then worked in Düsseldorf, Wiesbaden and as a climate planning engineer at ZDF in Mainz .

Schick is married and has one grown son and two grandchildren. He lives in the town where he was born, where he was mayor for 13 years.

The state government of Rhineland-Palatinate ( Cabinet Vogel III ) appointed his predecessor Gerulf Herzog ( CDU ) as state district administrator for a ten-year term in 1985 . Herzog was confirmed by the district council, but lost the support of the majority parliamentary groups from the SPD, FWG and FDP after the lost municipal elections in Rhineland-Palatinate in 1989. As a result, Claus Schick was the first full-time alderman since the end of 1991 to lead the business.

Claus Schick, at that time parliamentary group leader of the SPD in the district council, became district administrator of the Mainz-Bingen district on March 27, 1992; his first term of office ended on December 31, 2001. On April 29, 2001, Schick won the first direct election of a district administrator for Mainz-Bingen with around 60% of the votes cast against Gerhard Hanke (CDU). In the local elections in Rhineland-Palatinate in 2009 , Claus Schick was confirmed as district administrator for another eight years with 57.6% of the votes cast. Schick has considered running for a further term as district administrator if the age limit in municipal elections is no longer applicable due to incompatibility with EU law. Schick did not run for the district election in June 2017. The new district administrator was Dorothea Schäfer from the CDU on October 1, 2017 , who won the runoff against the SPD candidate Salvatore Barbaro .

Events in his tenure

In the mid-1990s, Claus Schick arranged for the district administration to be rebuilt and relocated from Mainz to Nieder-Ingelheim . Ingelheim am Rhein has been the district town since 1996 . The local district building has already been expanded several times. In 2008, fifty additional service and meeting rooms were created. The district building was extended by a fifth floor in 2012/13. The measure created a net floor area of ​​1040 square meters. With a district levy - 160 million euros are expected in 2014 - the district administrator has room for maneuver.

Many schools and day-care centers have been renovated or built. The U3 care quota is over 57 percent. This places the Mainz-Bingen district in second place in western Germany. In April 2014, the Mainz-Bingen district administration was the first public administration in Rhineland-Palatinate to start building its own company daycare center . The district is almost debt-free, the Energiedienstleistungsgesellschaft Rheinhessen-Nahe mbH (EDG) was founded, the Sparkassen Bingen and Bad Kreuznach merged to form the Sparkasse Rhein-Nahe . The district's infrastructure has been strengthened. In particular, the club landscape in the district has been supported by the voluntary work with around 13.6 million euros (for the period from 2007 to 2013). Since 1990 the district has invested around 234 million euros in expanding, converting and building new schools and equipping them.
